How do you all Roll with NFA Items???

[GSPBirdDog]

Just curious how you all travel in Indiana with NFA items. I know you don't have to have paperwork for suppressors but was wondering how all you guys travel with SBR's? From my understanding, you are required to have copies of NFA paperwork for each SBR. I keep copies in my glove box for each SBR I own and in my gun case.
What do you all do for NFA items such as SBR's, AOW's, and Full Yeet Yeet's?

My NFA items were filed electronically, thus I have a digital copy of such saved on a locked file in my phone. If the event ever arises where I was required to provide proof on the spot, I can pull my form 4 up, enable guided access, and allow said appropriate authority figure view my personal tax form.
I have paper duplicates in a safe deposit box, my safe, and digitally copies on a hard drive and laptop kept in a safe.

I have digital copies on my phone, and hard copies tucked inside of the hollow part of the grip of the firearm itself.

Since I am waiting on my first one, is this something that anyone ever actually gets checked for?

Not unless you go to Range USA.

I had an uninformed Maryland State Trooper ask me for my papers long ago.
The second much older Trooper, that pulled up asked me if my paperwork was in order, I said yes sir. He apologized for the delay and wished me a good day.

Also, no one can require to see your form 4 unless they’re ATF or Dept of the Treasury. LEs are generally curious, so let them run the serials if they need to, then offer them a mag or two. That always greases the wheels.

I don’t mind showing my papers but no one has ever asked.

Funny you post that Andy,
I had a wonderful afternoon with them trying to finger and asking for paperwork with a few HK's that we were going to shoot there.

It is lame that any range would demand to see paperwork for NFA stuff but I also find it a bit funny that people will go to the trouble of filling out forms, submit fingerprints, go through background check, then refuse to show them at a range. I suspect most that ask to see them wouldn't even know what they're looking at, just being shown any document would probably be sufficient.

Can I reach over and start to finger a firearm much less a MG that you own without your consent?

Just show them your Starbucks card. 50-50 they won't know the difference.

Never been asked, even by county sheriff during a traffic stop.

I have heard they also want documentation to buy ammo.

Or a scope, or a range bag, or a cleaning kit, but there are other threads dedicated to that.

As far as being asked to see paperwork, it’s never happened to me. I have been asked by variou ‘people’ if they are legal, to whic I reply yes and that usually ends it. I got to a shoot/ get together in MO every fall and one year, they local sherif’s dept got called to the location. I took my folder of paperwork including my F4’s and 5320.20’s to them and they had zero interest in seeing any of it. I of course let them fire a mag through the Sterling and part of a belt through the vickers and several people got them on video, so no issues in the following years!

I can remember a time or 2 we headed down to Martinsville together with the truck loaded down. As I recall are conversation was to keep it at the speed limit, cause we didn't want to spend hours on the side of the road while they ran serial numbers.

Because #1, it's none of their business. #2, do you think they're running a NICS check on every mouth breather that comes in and rents a gun for the range? The double standard is sickening.

Fair enough
